Hot Slaw Dogs

Note: To warm hot dog buns, either place on a large plate, cover with paper towel, and microwave until hot (20 to 30 seconds), or toast in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, turning and flipping occasionally until warmed through and lightly toasted. One batch of Creamy Cole Slaw will produce enough slaw to top dogs and serve on the side.
